: There was but very little demand for mill
ing wheat on The local board and buyers
showed but very little disposition to take
hold. Shippers are complaining about the
difficulty of getting cars for their wheat. and
the railroad men find it impossible TO fur
nish them. The latter claim that holders of
wheat and farmers are crowding all the ele-
vstors full and rushing the wheat forward to
market at an Unprecedented rate, and assert
that. il is an impossibility to furnish cars
enough. Quotations throughout were un.

Keeping In.

Keeping pupils in after school does
but little good. II the lessons have not
been learned assign shorter lessons.
Ask no more OF the pupils than they are
able to 10. Ii they have been idle and
have no interest in the lesson, keeping
in will do no good. The same thing
will have to De repeated time and again.
1t is no punishment to keep the boys in.
The7teacher must also remain. If the
school is large and the teacher labors
earnestly lie needs rest after school.
Send tie boys home. Talk 10 them.
Try some other method that will be less
wearisome to yourself. If boy is rude
and abusive On the way home from
school it might be we'll to retain him un'
til after the other pupils have gone.
This would be the natural punishment
for the offenseand would be more ef-
fective than whipping. Make school
pleasant and do not keep pupils in after
school to study lessons.-No1mdl Index.
An age Of humanity is certainly near
at hand for the school boy. The ten
dency OF the day runs against all kinds
of punishment. Whipping, keeping in,
etc., are all condemned, and in the near
future the teacher will he forbidden to
resort to any OF these kinds of punish
ment.

THREE MILLION WOMEN.

It is said that on the occasion of
the recent semi-centenDial jubilee of
Queen Victoria of England, three
million women of her realms made
her up present of $4,000 pounds
sterling, equal to about S375,00O.
This no doubt is meant as a token of
respect and the high esteem in which
these three million women hold the
Queen-and they no doubt meant
well. But when we think of the great
number Of other places and uses to
which this handsome sum could have
been put by those women and the
great mass of suffering humanity
right there in England, upon whom
could have been expended three times
this amount, we cannot but wonder
why these three million women could
have been so foolish. The Queen is
already rich and did not need the
money, and there are thousands of
poor suffering humanity every where
that is really in want and just to
think the great amount of good these
women could have done with this
money.
The Atlanta Constitution in speak
ing Of this gift says: "But it might
be said that there are better places for
this money than the royal purse.
Thousands Of children lay in the
garrets and novels of London, sick,
ragged and starving, as the splendid
pageantry of this jubilee procession
swept on to the grand abbey. Thou
sands of the Queens subjects in
Ireland are homeless and hungry.
There are dismal scenes of misery,
want and suffering all about the
millionaire Queen
There is no doubt of che truth of
this picture, but the Queen is not to
be blamed because she was the re.
cipient of this gift. The only won-
der to Us is that there are three mil.
lion such foolish women. It is al
ways thus though. Those who have
plenty shall receive more, and those
Tho have not shall be. taken away
Rhat little they have.

Should decimals Immediately follow
the first four rules in arithmetic (add;-
ton, subtraction, etc.), or should they
be LETT until common fractions and COM
pound quantities have been treated OF:
We notice in some of the latest arith'
metics that decilpals follow division Of
simple numbers. This we think is the
proper place. Il is strange why the sub
iect has been considered difficult enough
to be put i'll an advanced part OF the
book. This itself is enough to make the
pupil imagine that when he is come te
decimal fractions something unusually
perplexing is to bc dealt with. Make
anyone believe that task is difficult
and it becomes so, although it may be
easy. We should like for some teacher
to give i reason, if there is any, why the
old plan should be carried out.
